Reading length of Keys - Read a key challenge

[akhil-lakka]

Hi,
Im not getting correct length of keys string to read, can someone please help with this.

Hey @akhil-lakka, you can set debug: true in codecrafters.yml to reveal a hexdump of the RDB file.

I’m not sure why byteValue+1 is used here:

String finalByteVal = Integer.toHexString(byteValue+1);

In the screenshot above, 250 is fa in hex, which indicates an auxiliary field containing two strings: a key and a value.

Let me know if you’d like further clarification!
